Chinese companies banned in telecom, but not in other sectors.

The Indian government has banned Chinese companies from supplying equipments to Indian telecom companies. Similarly, the Indian government has also banned numerous Chinese apps. However, it is astonishing to note that, a contract has been awarded to the Chinese firm, Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Company Ltd. (STEC) by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) to build a 5.6 kilometre long underground tunnel stretching from New Ashok Nagar to Sahibabad. It is reported that this Chinese company has emerged as the lowest bidder in the tender.
